Orewa College’s annual Wearable Arts show is one of the final opportunities that students have to gain points in the fiercely contested House competition.
This year there were more than 100 entries. One of the requirements is that recycled materials are used, and students from Years 7–13 got inventive using playing cards, plastic of all kinds, various kinds of metal and even an old Christmas tree.
Paper was top of the list with many outfits made of recycled magazines, newspapers, paper cups and even toilet paper.
No sacrifice was too great, with many lollies and Whittakers chocolate bars consumed to provide wrappers to decorate garments with.
The winners were announced at an evening show on September 17.
